Wonderful channel for the average surfer! Great reviews and I like listening to your explanations. The low-fi style of the clips has got its charme. Thank you very much for your work!
Dominic Tschupp thanks for your kind words and support Dominic. Really appreciate that and glad your enjoying the reviews .. Hope your getting waves where you are 🤙
I bought the 6.0. I’m 39, 6ft, 90kg. I am in love with the board. 90% of all the waves here in Perth WA are 2 to 6ft and sometimes mushy. I am a beginner to intermediate.. It’s my one board quiver
Yeah nice mate :-) 6'0" at your weight be spot on. It covers a lot of conditions the Seaside. My friend has the 6'0" too I thought it might be a bit much volume for me but actually would be perfectly happy with the extra now I think. Mine needs a bit of a wave for me one up might have just grovelled that bit better. Saying that I was eying up one down too at one stage lol Glad it's been a good board for you. I still have mine.
Demo'd a 5'11 recently in very small surf. Can't believe how well it picked up waves and went considering what was on offer. Totally agree it paddles a litre or two higher. Thought 5'11 would be ideal size for a 50 year old 85kg strictly intermediate but am now rethinking. In better waves could def ride it smaller but all my other boards are low to mid 40's in volume. I think maybe sensible to go with the 5'11 for longevity and have performance hybrid for big/better days.
i bought a 5'10'' seaside around 4 months ago. love the board. yesterday in huntington they had a demo day. for reference i am 5'10' and 210lbs (95 kg) i actually tried out a 5'7'' seaside just for shits and giggles... and guess what. the board rode so much better than the 5'10 i bought - it was snappy, and i felt more connected to the wave. on the 5'10" that i own... i notice that i fly down the line super fast -- but almost feel out of control on my turns as there is so much area to plane underneath me. the 5'7 felt really good underneath my feet and it was surprising. i actually have my seaside for sale right now on offer up... once it sells i am going to go and purchase a 5'8!
Hi @@SlickWillie, did you end up getting the 5'8? On the Firewire website when I put my weight and size (5'11 & 180lbs) it tells me that for my level (beginner to intermediate) I should get a 5'11 or 6' board... I'm planning on riding almost everyday this year (I'm moving to Oahu, Hawaii) so hopefully improve quite a bit in the surf department. Would you recommend getting directly the 5'8 or something bigger like a 5'11? Thanks mate.
@@kinouillek I did purchase the 5'8''. It's my most used board in the quiver. I weigh 200lbs now and it's super easy to paddle. At your weight you could go to the 5'7''. If your a beginner there are better board for you especially if your loving to Hawaii. You may want to look into thrusters. But if your set on a seaside I'd reccomend anything from 57 to 59 depending on ability. The 511 will be to much foam
@@SlickWillie Great, thank you very much for the advice. I'm thinking of talking to the local shops about it anyway but wanted your opinion. I found a few used board on Craiglist but they were all 5'8 and I was worried they would be too small. Looks like they might not be. Thanks again and I'm glad you enjoy the 5'8.
Just got a 6' Sea Side Cant wait to surf it. It looks like I can surf it in thigh high to 2 ft overhead. I used to own 2 Firewire quad fish but broke both of them. I tryed to order another but they didnt make them anymore. That was a bummer but the Seaside is way closer to the quad Fish then the Fish O. Yup
Ron Belanger ah your gonna be stooooked mate. I had a quad fish years ago. Funny I was just looking at that last night to see how close the design was. Funny thing is the quad fish didn't really blow me away but this does so he keen to hear how you like it. 👍
Yo Ron i also had a Quadfish and totally loved it in small waves and mine too became bust up and like you was gutted they were no longer available. How are you getting on with the Seaside, i am thinking of ordering one.
You hit nail in the head. It can grovel and it can handle bigger waves. I have a 5’6 Evo and I have to say that board paddles a lot better but it doesn’t handle steep drops because of the square nose. I have a 5’6 Seaside and almost wish I got a 5’7 to use it as a groveler. But I’m throwing the Sea Shepherds when the waves are small and I like it so far.
wef 0909 yeah I haven't really gotten on super well with any Tommos for some reason. I know there great boards. Lots of my friend have them and love them. Yet to try mine as a twin but the rasta sea shepherd fins are a favourite so I'm sure it goes good with those. The new CI Keels are really good too 👍
Hi mate. Love your reviews. You’ve got a real honest vibe. I’ve been real interested in the seaside since they came out but every time I feel one up in a shop they feel just so light! My favourite board is a 5’10” Greedy Beaver (love that thing to death)! And, as you’d know, it carry’s a bit of weight. Can you speak to me about the lightness of the seaside? I’m curious to know how you took to it. Cheers bud.
Hey mate. Thanks very much for your kind words. Yeah I try to keep it that way. I don't get anything for free or have any links to any companies so think i'm pretty impartial. Mate the Greedy is a fun wee machine aye :-) Yeah completely hear you on weight. I thought exactly the same when I picked up my first Helium.. They definitely don't feel how you think they are going to feel underfoot though.. They can have slippery moments in certain designs but they are super lively really fast, paddle good, durable and what surprised me was how they handle chop etc.. Usually I would want a PU for that but yeah something a bit different about helium. They dont have that same ping ping ball hollow feel that some eps have.. Helium HIFi and Carbon wrap are all really good feels for epoxy. I feel like the control of flex is pretty good on heluim.. The seaside as a board can be sometimes grippy as and the odd time slipery too it's a funny one.. Have ridden a spitfire in helium too and that was great.. Think you just need to be a little careful sizing.. The seaside felt to me like an extra litre on what it says.. Fantastic board though.. If you dont mind just a bit more smooth carving retro feel and your concerned about the weight you could look at the RNF retro too. I have been very pleased with that. Come back to me if you have any more questions or comments will see if I can help but definitely wouldn't rule helium out but also wont feel like a timber tech or an LFT. LFT's ride nice but some of the buildsa nd durability not quite as good sometimes in my opininon.
Just got a mint used 6'1 seaside 46l. im 5'7 180 pounds but just wanted something I can go out and catch plenty of waves on just wondering If I went too big? Also, anyone ever run thi board as a twin fin?
Errr pretty subjective mate.. You could have gone one or two down and might have been better but as long as it's not feeling super corky or slipping around on you I wouldn't worry, just makes it a better grovel board. My mate is your weight and perfectly happy on the 6'0" I actually sometimes wish I had gone the 6'0" and other times wish I had gone the 5'10" lol Yeah people ride them with Keel fins like the Machado too and enjoy them. It's not the optimal fin position for twins I found them too slippery for me but others love them and only rid it as a twin so give it a go see if you like the feel or not. Cheers.
Comment: Hi:) I pre ordered the seaside in A 5.10. I have A go fish in A 6.1. Firewires webside says i should Get the board 1 or to inches shorter. Then the go fish! Is the 5.10 going to be to small? I surf in norway. Im 6.2 and 95 kg.
I just put an order in for a 5'9 (37.3) seaside and am debating if i should change the order to a 5'10 (39.4 L). I'm 6'2 and weigh roughly 205 (93.5KG) and have a untitled haydenshape (38.15 L). I would say i'm just above intermediate and am in pretty good shape. I don't have any issues paddling/getting into waves on my untitled. I am just concerned about the board feeling too corky when compared to what i am used too. I called my shop today and when i mentioned going up a size they told me someone returned a board for feeling too corky.
john suarez hey mate. Yeah look the seaside for sure paddles like about a litre more than it is. I got the 5'11" and I'm usually used to 42 - 43 and even 44 litres and it paddles great. I can't see it not paddling at least as well as the untitled though what length is the untitled ? Also a lot of that volume is up front and the rocker is very flat. If you were pretty average fitness and ability I would say that 5'10" or even the 5'11" but based on what your riding and what your used to your probably gonna love the 5'9" there all pretty wide and helium is extremely light.
Looks like your untitled is a 6'2" 20.25. I would say the same volume to a litre less than your untitled would still paddle better in a seaside so the shop is probably steering you pretty good in my opinion but always hard to say as it's subjective. Mine is low in my voukme range and paddles great for me I could have dropped down to the 5'10" ok
Thanks! makes me feel a little better now. I'm above average fitness but around avgerge skill wise (27 yrs old). the untitled i surf is 6'3 (38.15 L). @@lawson45uk
john suarez yeah I think your on point mate. Would definitely say the seaside will paddle like it's a litre better than most other boards and a couple of litres too much could feel too much in that width and surface area 👍
Hey mate, love the reviews. I've been looking at picking one of these up, I've been riding a 6'6 Puddle Jumper for the last couple of years at 49L which has really helped me progress fast as it catches pretty much anything. From all the reviews I've seen on the seaside it sounds exactly what I'm looking for in regards to wave range and manoeuvrability. I'm just looking for some advice on sizing it. I've been trying to decide between the 5'11,6'0 and the 6'1. I've put on a few Kgs during the covid lockdown last year (currently sitting around 95kg) I'm just a little undecided on dropping so much volume. Any feedback you have would be much appreciated.
Hey Brenton. Yeah sounds like a perfect fit for you. The OG PJ are insanely good too to be fair though :-) Tough one on size. There so light and paddle so well it's definitely one you dont want to over volume. I'm 84Kgs and could ride a 5'10" but happy with my 5'11" I think at 95 and if your used to 49 L you could go the 6'0" but probably wouldn't need to go as far as the 6'1" You could also ride the 5'11" if you wanted to.. Less length is less paddle power so it's probabaly still not going to paddle as well as your PJ that's a paddle beast at 6'6" but Seasides definitely paddle a litre or more better than you would expect and you dont want them to feel corky in the rail as they are crazy light and EPS. I think the 6'0" should be good, the 5'11" if your feeling brave but you probably dont need the 6'1" there is another english guy that reviews and rides similar boards that I think has the 6'0" or 6'1" and loves it he's a good guy he rides even a bit more generous volumes than me. Hope that helps cheers.
@@lawson45uk Thanks so much for the advice mate, I picked up one yesterday in a 6'0" It rides exactly how I expected it too, definitely more work to paddle and get going than the PJ but its exactly what I was looking for and I think its going to really help progress my surfing. Your review is pretty spot on it definitely paddles a lot better than I expected.
@@brentontaylor9191 stoked for you mate. That's fantastic news. Always good when you get that right one. No one wants to shell out the savings on a board and wish they got the different size so glad it's what you wanted. Hope it helps you progress. I think it will as it does perform well paddle well carry good speed etc. All the things we need to get going and keep flowing 🤙
@@lawson45uk reading this in 2023 helping me select my new board. I’m intermediate, 96kgs, 33 years old and looking at grabbing the 6’0. Kinda wanna try the 5’11. I’m only getting heavier as I get older though 🤣
@@netaro1890 Nice you will enjoy the board. I actually thought the 6’0” might be a bit much volume but have had friends that are fitter and better surfers still really enjoy the bigger one so that thin tail probably still keeps it’s feeling nice. Enjoy :)
Great review! I also would like to ask your opinion on sizing. I am 184cm and 85kg with internediate level. I am thinking about the 5.9 and the 5.10 but leaning towards the 5.9 becasue I ride beach brakes so duck diving is a must. waves are normally 2-6 ft. I have another board Hypto Krypto 6.0 with 36.5L for bigger days and riddent a 5.10 Channel Island with 32.3L but that one was small for volume.
Hey buddy. Thanks for your support. Yeah volume is always a tough one mate. I think volume is a personal preference and most people know their own volume requirements better than I could advise them if it’s down to just a few litters and you already have a pretty good idea. I try just to compare characteristics of the board compared to others I have ridden so the seaside is very light and paddles really well per volume. I weight about the same as you and I’m fine on the 5’11” Could definitely ride the 5’10” too and possibly even the 5’9” but that would be tough to get going in our slower softer waves. I had a hypto in a 6’2” and that paddled fine as well. Looking at the volumes if your comfy with your 36.5 in a hypto I would say the 5’9” is probably the one unless you just want to carry more volume for the smaller waves as obviously the lower you go the less well it will handle the really small stuff. It’s definitely a board that’s going to paddle better than you expect in general and also quite wide up front. Hope that helps. I suspect it will still paddle at last as well as the Hypto per volume. Cheers.
Yeah for sure if your wanting a bit more lively and chuck-able in small to medium waves. Good to see if you like eps epoxy too it's not everyones cup of tea can be a bit more corky / slippery but easier to turn catch waves and a little more lively. Cheers.
Hi, great review! I have a question about duck-diving this board. How do you you find duck-diving the 5'11" ? I'm creeping up in volume as I approach bus pass age, my current shortboard is a 6'1" JS Bullseye ( 38.2l ) which is super easy to duck-dive. Does 41l in this fish design feel a bit corky to get under ? Thanks
Hi Marcus. Thanks for the positive feedback. It is a wide and thick board up front and I like to say they do feel like half to a litre more than the volume says. I personally dont find it difficult to duck dive as it's quite a bit shorter than a lot of my boards but if your used to 38 Litres in a 6'1" You might find the 5'10" enough in this but if your saying your aiming to up the volume a little to increase your wave count that may come with the territory of board that paddle and catch waves better. It's always rally hard to comment on how someone else will find something when your down to a couple of litres of difference so I try to guide on how the board feels to me in general and compared to other boards and the seaside I would say is one of the few boards that tends to feel like more volume that it is so hope that's helpful. If anything it might be the width and how a rail goes in that may take a little adjustment but they are a cracking board and a bit of colume doesn't hurt. I'm personally definitely glad I didn't go up to the 6'0" and could absolutely ride the 5'10". How do you like your Bullseye? I was really tempted with those but wasn't sure about the more narrow widths combined with the chunky thickness. in the shop a 6'2" looked feasible for me.
GO SURF Thanks for the update, I’ll go and give the rails of the 5’10” and 5’11” a rub and check the volume up front in my local shop ( Down the Line ). The JS Bullseye is a terrific all round board in slightly better waves for me. The rails are fairly chunky but still easy to engage and the nose thins out quite nicely although you do have to put a bit of pressure on the front foot. It’s surprisingly easy to catch most waves that have at least a little umph. The Hifi has a lovely feel with a tight ‘pop’ and seems well built with very subtle heel dents after 6 months or so. Keep up the quality reviews !
@@marcusway8392 Yeah perfect if you can go check them out your a lucky man :-) We often can't here in NZ on the South Island till they become pretty widely available. There nice and thin in the tail but plenty of meat up front. Cool cheers for the Bullseye feedback :-) Good to know. A friend has one locally and really likes it. I have a Psycho Nitro and really impressed with that and just traded a board for a BB3 that also feels pretty nice. I like HIFI too think Hifi Carbon wrap and Firewire are definitely the best epoxt techs and Thunderbolt in longboards also excellent.. Let me know how you get on with the Seaside. Cheers :-)
Hey mate! Just wondering... I’m 6 ft 6 so wondering if I should get 6’1 it has a solid 46.5 L. Wondering if it’s too much volume?! My short board is a lost mayhem psycho killer 6 ft 6 and 42 litres. 🤔 how tall are you?
CFS Health hey mate. What do you weigh. I would say if your comfortable on a 42 litres shortboard you could go the 5'11" volume wise is paddles easy a litre better than you would expect. I ride my shortboards at 42 litres too and actually have a 6'3" psycho with added thickness and width to make it 41 and a bit litres and my 5'11" paddles better than that and all my shortboards and feels more chunky. I can't say how something that short comparably would be for a 6'6" guy though. Certainly makes sense your on a thinner 6'6" psycho in theory. I'm only 5'7" though lol so hard to comment. I know the guy from big guy boards ks pretty tall too but he still rides pretty similar volume and length to me. if you weigh like 90kg plus you could probably go the 6'0" don't think you need to go to 6'1" though I was gonna a go the 6'0" and super glad I didn't. Personally I would say 5'11" or 6'0" depending on what you weigh but even the 5'11" should paddle somewhere close to your psycho. If you want it for grovrl and your 90kg plus you could get a 6'0" for sure cheers.
CFS Health just looking at a couple of your videos mate. You don't look like a heavy dude so likely 5'11" would be a good pick. If you like a longer board you could look at the post RNF retro if you like lost. That's another one you could always make a longer thinner custom on maybe like my 6'2" I review possibly thinner. Not as high performance but very fast and fun and good in a smaller wave too. Give me a shout with your thoughts 👍
CFS Health very good friend of mine is at least 6'2" and about 90 kg and he rides a 5'10" and had a quiver killer stock at 40 litres hope that all helps
GO SURF hey mate! Thanks heaps for the reply! Love your channel! I’d say I can surf my 43 l lost board very well up to 4 ft waves! Then I’m scrapping in on bigger waves a bit more! Still catching them but not getting in super early. I am 6”6 so I guess the 6.1 is a big drop in length! Just wanna make sure I can turn the thing up to the lip! Don’t want it to be too wide! What ya think?
GO SURF yeah I agree! The 6.0 might be better than the 6.1 only issue is the only one for sale in my area is a 6.1... but still think it could be good for me
Hi again:) I just got it from my postoffice! It looks awsome and Very light. I have A lost v3 rocket in A 6.2 37.3 liter (Carbon wrap) and A go fish 6.1 with 39.4 liter. Do you think i should have bought the 5.11 seaside with 41.1 liter? Is the 5.10 with 39.4 liter going to be to small and hard to paddle and catch waves?:) Christophe
Christophe Tellaroli Hay mate no you don't need a 5'11" based on what your used to. I'm on the 5'11" and find it easy paddler and a wave catching machine and I looked at that 6'1" go fish and thought it was too little volume for me and 37.3 litres in a V3 would also be too little volume for me too..The 5'10" Seaside will be plenty. I would almost guarantee it paddles at least as good as the Go Fish. Let me know how you get on 👍
How does the board (Helium construction) hold up compared to previous building methodes of firewire or standard surf boards? Any dings in the meantime? Any delamination or dents from hot conditions? Cheers - Kai
Kai Dame hey mate. Pretty good from what I have seen but my boards don't generally get a Hammering. It's got a tough deck skin and still got the balsa and palonia rails so it's closer to the good old fst than it is the old rapidfire and much better than LFT for durability in my opinion. No delams or yellowing on mine but one guy was saying he had a bad experience with a Indo trip and it delamed and wasn't looking in good shape. It's very light and flex and livelyness is good. Hope that helps. I personally would buy with confidence on this construction. They're is probably only the old fst that's any stronger in FireWire
@@lawson45uk thank's for your insight. Funny you mentioned LFT and rate this under Helium in terms of durability. I was thinking about a GoFish but was worrying about the Firewire construction in general. Found some really intimidating photos of delamed Firewire Board in the web (The Ding King etc.) Thought it's not worth to pull the plug on one of these as they are quite expensive.... My last two boards had been from LibTech and beside some heavy deck dents I had no issues within 4 years with them concerning dings and repairs. But kind of did not get the magic feeling kicking in. Wondering if I got them with the wrong volume or waht so ever. Do you found the volume calculator of Firewire accurate? Cheers - Kai
Kai Dame ohhh did I say LFT is more durable. Definitely not mate. the old FST is probably the most durable. LFT has a nice feel and flex but definitely not that durable and not always that well finished either they had a run with a lot of sand outs etc. Yeah lib tech is probably the most durable tech you can get and yes I would agree not quite as magic a feel though but I believe that has improved too. O get a lot of my boards in poly from Tommy Dalton now. Were lucky enough to have some fantastic shapers and craftsmen here in NZ for a small country. Tommy has the best quality and finish out of anything I have had and he's good to deal with too in my experience. Yeah the go fish was too narrow for my liking so didn't get one. Lots of people love them but I would rather have a seaside myself. Volume calculators are really just s guide line and different models behave differently anyway. Sometimes takes a bit of working out to get it really right. Cheers
@@lawson45uk I pretty sure you mentioned FST as the one from previous day's - no worry's. Well I think try and error is as always the way to go but thanks for your perspective. At my location we lack of both, skilled shaper and waves in the backyard but the last one is supposed to be change in some weeks as they build a city wave next to where I live. Hope they have some demos at this location soon :)
Kai Dame yeah the FST are older tech but kinda the gold standard of durable FireWire tech and they still surf and feel good. Again probably not as close to poly as LFT it as lovely as Helium but they lasted super well and rode well. Helium is very very light but does handle chop ok and feels quite nice. Ah ok thought you might be here in NZ talking about ding king. What sort of boards and volume have you been riding and how have you found them ? I always get slammed for riding high volume but you honesty need it here at our local break especially being a pretty average not super fit surfer.
What's the biggest surf you've ridden it in? Trying to decide between this and the Midas. Summers on Maui suck but my home break in winter is hollow as they come (vids on my channel, Honolua). Saw Machado taking this thing into chopes but he's Rob Machado xD
Kaleo Delatori hi I have ridden it in what we class as overhead waves but our local wave is sloooooow and flat faced. On a slow rolling clean want it would handle a bit or size but they're are also times when it's slippery as too so for the serous stuff you get in Hawaii and for riding it in the volumes us normal humans use it's not a board I would chose for holow surf personally. Midas is quite a different board again. Probably still wouldn't be my choice for big hollow waves though.
Kaleo Delatori What else is on your list ? Maybe something's like a quiver killer could do a bit of both. Looking at those waves 😱 phzel ghost Superbrand Pig Dog lost rock etc would be on my mind. Depends on what you wsnt to achieve I guess. maybe you need a couple of boards both with big ranges?
@@lawson45uk right now I'm riding a 5'6" 2+1 setup and have always ridden fishy type boards(I'm a former stand up booger) so love putting it on rail vs getting crazy vertical etc.. Always felt weird riding the standard shortboard!! Right now I'm deciding between the Seaside, Midas, and MR California twin.
Kaleo Delatori Ok cool so your well used to twins and being shorter sizes etc and riding petty low volume anyways so that's always going to help with hold. Sounds like a your a good surfer and riding waaay lower volume tham me so my advice on the different boards might be a bit out it perspective and not quite as relevant but there both great boards.
Kaleo Delatori If you go on Boardshop UK on RUclips and I think surf and show they both have good Midas breakdowns I think they're said to go in a solid wave too. Realwatersports is also great for reviews if you haven't already checked those out. The MR is a suprisingly good little performer for how retro it looks. Seaside is very wide at my volume but I'm a fan of quads. Midas I haven't ridden but I suspect if your used to and like a twin and trailer the Midas is a bit Mott pointy and bitey. The seaside would do the big nice carves your taking about in smaller waves not sure if it would max out in bigger stuff. It's not uncommon for people to be riding different boards or different builds when you see these glossy marketing videos of rob Machado riding like big Teahupoo ... From what little I know the Midas might possibly have the most recent shape most likely to handle size as well as rip out some nice carves. LFT builds aren't always the best quality of the Firewire builds but it has a good feel and holds well bit more like a pu the helium is super light and really lively but can feel a little slippery. Pu well I like PU myself. Just Pu over epoxy can sometimes make a board feel more connected. Would have to have a look at the reviews on the mk ofsd again but I take Just on shape and rocker they could be a a good one for you but will be less happy at the smaller end. Take it no demos over their ? It's like that here. Local Place has them racked in stock now but used to have to order blind and take a guess myself
Lol good question but dont think there is such a thing. For our locally break it would be for purely practical reasons but I would have to go for a longboard as that's what 50-75% of the waves we get really call for. I think a total grovel board or longboard and something like a quiver or psycho killer in the right size would be the go. Sorry that's a two board quiver really but under 2ft here your not gonna be riding many waves on a shortboard if your not a very good surfer that's light and fit. 2ft to as big as i would dare go out in quiver killer would be good.
@@lawson45uk thanks for the reply! Cj parallax with a 7’ outlier? Have you tried either of these boards? From the sound of it they are really fun boards and that’s all that matters to me!
@@morganwalstrom9900 yeah seen reviews on both and seen them in the flesh but not riden either. I really fancies the 8'0" outlier rails are amazing but fairly refined and quite w pulled in tail and the hull factory had me worried about it being a risky expensive experiment. The 7'0" outlier is a completely different board it looks like it would actually be good for a most average waves small to decent. I'd the parallax the one that's based on the outlier ? I think that's right always get that and the neo classic confused. A friend has the neo classic. Another has the classic and I had the Aussie slasher in a 9'4" my mate has the 9'10" I'm really enjoying my Haven. If anything maybe the concaves are a bit much for the local stuff but paddles and catches really well and turns like it's a couple of inches shorter.
@@morganwalstrom9900 This is also why I'm after the ova. Just a nice fun looking board that I'm sure will perform too. That will probably end up being my "shortboard" replacement soon I'm 45 now so starting to need that bit of length and volume.
@@lawson45uk does your friend like the neo? Cj has me intrigued to feel like “Superman” on one of his boards. Don’t know if that’s a marketing ploy or not. Does seem like it because Cj doesn’t seem like that kind of guy. So you think the 8’ outlier looks really fun huh?
Wonderful channel for the average surfer! Great reviews and I like listening to your explanations. The low-fi style of the clips has got its charme. Thank you very much for your work!
Dominic Tschupp thanks for your kind words and support Dominic. Really appreciate that and glad your enjoying the reviews .. Hope your getting waves where you are 🤙
I bought the 6.0. I’m 39, 6ft, 90kg. I am in love with the board. 90% of all the waves here in Perth WA are 2 to 6ft and sometimes mushy. I am a beginner to intermediate.. It’s my one board quiver
Yeah nice mate :-) 6'0" at your weight be spot on. It covers a lot of conditions the Seaside.

Great reviews, it swayed my thinking to hit the ‘buy now’ button! The 5’11 also
Many thanks.
Cheers mate. Hope you like it. Let me know how you get on 🤙👌
Demo'd a 5'11 recently in very small surf. Can't believe how well it picked up waves and went considering what was on offer. Totally agree it paddles a litre or two higher. Thought 5'11 would be ideal size for a 50 year old 85kg strictly intermediate but am now rethinking. In better waves could def ride it smaller but all my other boards are low to mid 40's in volume. I think maybe sensible to go with the 5'11 for longevity and have performance hybrid for big/better days.
i bought a 5'10'' seaside around 4 months ago. love the board. yesterday in huntington they had a demo day. for reference i am 5'10' and 210lbs (95 kg) i actually tried out a 5'7'' seaside just for shits and giggles... and guess what. the board rode so much better than the 5'10 i bought - it was snappy, and i felt more connected to the wave. on the 5'10" that i own... i notice that i fly down the line super fast -- but almost feel out of control on my turns as there is so much area to plane underneath me. the 5'7 felt really good underneath my feet and it was surprising. i actually have my seaside for sale right now on offer up... once it sells i am going to go and purchase a 5'8!
Hi @@SlickWillie, did you end up getting the 5'8? On the Firewire website when I put my weight and size (5'11 & 180lbs) it tells me that for my level (beginner to intermediate) I should get a 5'11 or 6' board... I'm planning on riding almost everyday this year (I'm moving to Oahu, Hawaii) so hopefully improve quite a bit in the surf department. Would you recommend getting directly the 5'8 or something bigger like a 5'11? Thanks mate.
@@kinouillek I did purchase the 5'8''. It's my most used board in the quiver. I weigh 200lbs now and it's super easy to paddle. At your weight you could go to the 5'7''. If your a beginner there are better board for you especially if your loving to Hawaii. You may want to look into thrusters. But if your set on a seaside I'd reccomend anything from 57 to 59 depending on ability. The 511 will be to much foam
@@SlickWillie Great, thank you very much for the advice. I'm thinking of talking to the local shops about it anyway but wanted your opinion. I found a few used board on Craiglist but they were all 5'8 and I was worried they would be too small. Looks like they might not be. Thanks again and I'm glad you enjoy the 5'8.
Just got a 6' Sea Side Cant wait to surf it. It looks like I can surf it in thigh high to 2 ft overhead. I used to own 2 Firewire quad fish but broke both of them. I tryed to order another but they didnt make them anymore. That was a bummer but the Seaside is way closer to the quad Fish then the Fish O. Yup
Ron Belanger ah your gonna be stooooked mate. I had a quad fish years ago. Funny I was just looking at that last night to see how close the design was. Funny thing is the quad fish didn't really blow me away but this does so he keen to hear how you like it. 👍
Yo Ron i also had a Quadfish and totally loved it in small waves and mine too became bust up and like you was gutted they were no longer available. How are you getting on with the Seaside, i am thinking of ordering one.
Another great review!
Gordon Flash Rome cheers mate appreciate the support 👍
You hit nail in the head. It can grovel and it can handle bigger waves. I have a 5’6 Evo and I have to say that board paddles a lot better but it doesn’t handle steep drops because of the square nose. I have a 5’6 Seaside and almost wish I got a 5’7 to use it as a groveler. But I’m throwing the Sea Shepherds when the waves are small and I like it so far.
wef 0909 yeah I haven't really gotten on super well with any Tommos for some reason. I know there great boards. Lots of my friend have them and love them. Yet to try mine as a twin but the rasta sea shepherd fins are a favourite so I'm sure it goes good with those. The new CI Keels are really good too 👍
Hi mate. Love your reviews. You’ve got a real honest vibe. I’ve been real interested in the seaside since they came out but every time I feel one up in a shop they feel just so light! My favourite board is a 5’10” Greedy Beaver (love that thing to death)! And, as you’d know, it carry’s a bit of weight. Can you speak to me about the lightness of the seaside? I’m curious to know how you took to it. Cheers bud.
Hey mate. Thanks very much for your kind words. Yeah I try to keep it that way. I don't get anything for free or have any links to any companies so think i'm pretty impartial.
Mate the Greedy is a fun wee machine aye :-)
Yeah completely hear you on weight. I thought exactly the same when I picked up my first Helium.. They definitely don't feel how you think they are going to feel underfoot though.. They can have slippery moments in certain designs but they are super lively really fast, paddle good, durable and what surprised me was how they handle chop etc.. Usually I would want a PU for that but yeah something a bit different about helium. They dont have that same ping ping ball hollow feel that some eps have.. Helium HIFi and Carbon wrap are all really good feels for epoxy. I feel like the control of flex is pretty good on heluim.. The seaside as a board can be sometimes grippy as and the odd time slipery too it's a funny one.. Have ridden a spitfire in helium too and that was great.. Think you just need to be a little careful sizing.. The seaside felt to me like an extra litre on what it says.. Fantastic board though.. If you dont mind just a bit more smooth carving retro feel and your concerned about the weight you could look at the RNF retro too. I have been very pleased with that. Come back to me if you have any more questions or comments will see if I can help but definitely wouldn't rule helium out but also wont feel like a timber tech or an LFT. LFT's ride nice but some of the buildsa nd durability not quite as good sometimes in my opininon.
Good break down buddy.
Rome cheers mate appreciate the support 👍
Just got a mint used 6'1 seaside 46l. im 5'7 180 pounds but just wanted something I can go out and catch plenty of waves on just wondering If I went too big? Also, anyone ever run thi board as a twin fin?
Errr pretty subjective mate.. You could have gone one or two down and might have been better but as long as it's not feeling super corky or slipping around on you I wouldn't worry, just makes it a better grovel board. My mate is your weight and perfectly happy on the 6'0" I actually sometimes wish I had gone the 6'0" and other times wish I had gone the 5'10" lol Yeah people ride them with Keel fins like the Machado too and enjoy them. It's not the optimal fin position for twins I found them too slippery for me but others love them and only rid it as a twin so give it a go see if you like the feel or not. Cheers.
Comment: Hi:)
I pre ordered the seaside in A 5.10. I have A go fish in A 6.1. Firewires webside says i should Get the board 1 or to inches shorter. Then the go fish! Is the 5.10 going to be to small? I surf in norway. Im 6.2 and 95 kg.
I just put an order in for a 5'9 (37.3) seaside and am debating if i should change the order to a 5'10 (39.4 L). I'm 6'2 and weigh roughly 205 (93.5KG) and have a untitled haydenshape (38.15 L). I would say i'm just above intermediate and am in pretty good shape. I don't have any issues paddling/getting into waves on my untitled. I am just concerned about the board feeling too corky when compared to what i am used too. I called my shop today and when i mentioned going up a size they told me someone returned a board for feeling too corky.
john suarez hey mate. Yeah look the seaside for sure paddles like about a litre more than it is. I got the 5'11" and I'm usually used to 42 - 43 and even 44 litres and it paddles great. I can't see it not paddling at least as well as the untitled though what length is the untitled ? Also a lot of that volume is up front and the rocker is very flat. If you were pretty average fitness and ability I would say that 5'10" or even the 5'11" but based on what your riding and what your used to your probably gonna love the 5'9" there all pretty wide and helium is extremely light.
Looks like your untitled is a 6'2" 20.25. I would say the same volume to a litre less than your untitled would still paddle better in a seaside so the shop is probably steering you pretty good in my opinion but always hard to say as it's subjective. Mine is low in my voukme range and paddles great for me I could have dropped down to the 5'10" ok
Thanks! makes me feel a little better now. I'm above average fitness but around avgerge skill wise (27 yrs old). the untitled i surf is 6'3 (38.15 L). @@lawson45uk
john suarez yeah I think your on point mate. Would definitely say the seaside will paddle like it's a litre better than most other boards and a couple of litres too much could feel too much in that width and surface area 👍
Thanks appreciate the feedback. i'm going to stick with the 5'9. @@lawson45uk
Hey mate, love the reviews. I've been looking at picking one of these up, I've been riding a 6'6 Puddle Jumper for the last couple of years at 49L which has really helped me progress fast as it catches pretty much anything. From all the reviews I've seen on the seaside it sounds exactly what I'm looking for in regards to wave range and manoeuvrability. I'm just looking for some advice on sizing it. I've been trying to decide between the 5'11,6'0 and the 6'1. I've put on a few Kgs during the covid lockdown last year (currently sitting around 95kg) I'm just a little undecided on dropping so much volume. Any feedback you have would be much appreciated.
Hey Brenton. Yeah sounds like a perfect fit for you. The OG PJ are insanely good too to be fair though :-) Tough one on size. There so light and paddle so well it's definitely one you dont want to over volume. I'm 84Kgs and could ride a 5'10" but happy with my 5'11" I think at 95 and if your used to 49 L you could go the 6'0" but probably wouldn't need to go as far as the 6'1" You could also ride the 5'11" if you wanted to.. Less length is less paddle power so it's probabaly still not going to paddle as well as your PJ that's a paddle beast at 6'6" but Seasides definitely paddle a litre or more better than you would expect and you dont want them to feel corky in the rail as they are crazy light and EPS. I think the 6'0" should be good, the 5'11" if your feeling brave but you probably dont need the 6'1" there is another english guy that reviews and rides similar boards that I think has the 6'0" or 6'1" and loves it he's a good guy he rides even a bit more generous volumes than me. Hope that helps cheers.
@@lawson45uk Thanks so much for the advice mate, I picked up one yesterday in a 6'0" It rides exactly how I expected it too, definitely more work to paddle and get going than the PJ but its exactly what I was looking for and I think its going to really help progress my surfing. Your review is pretty spot on it definitely paddles a lot better than I expected.
@@brentontaylor9191 stoked for you mate. That's fantastic news. Always good when you get that right one. No one wants to shell out the savings on a board and wish they got the different size so glad it's what you wanted. Hope it helps you progress. I think it will as it does perform well paddle well carry good speed etc. All the things we need to get going and keep flowing 🤙
@@lawson45uk reading this in 2023 helping me select my new board. I’m intermediate, 96kgs, 33 years old and looking at grabbing the 6’0. Kinda wanna try the 5’11. I’m only getting heavier as I get older though 🤣
@@netaro1890 Nice you will enjoy the board. I actually thought the 6’0” might be a bit much volume but have had friends that are fitter and better surfers still really enjoy the bigger one so that thin tail probably still keeps it’s feeling nice. Enjoy :)
Great review! I also would like to ask your opinion on sizing. I am 184cm and 85kg with internediate level. I am thinking about the 5.9 and the 5.10 but leaning towards the 5.9 becasue I ride beach brakes so duck diving is a must. waves are normally 2-6 ft. I have another board Hypto Krypto 6.0 with 36.5L for bigger days and riddent a 5.10 Channel Island with 32.3L but that one was small for volume.
Hey buddy. Thanks for your support. Yeah volume is always a tough one mate. I think volume is a personal preference and most people know their own volume requirements better than I could advise them if it’s down to just a few litters and you already have a pretty good idea. I try just to compare characteristics of the board compared to others I have ridden so the seaside is very light and paddles really well per volume. I weight about the same as you and I’m fine on the 5’11” Could definitely ride the 5’10” too and possibly even the 5’9” but that would be tough to get going in our slower softer waves. I had a hypto in a 6’2” and that paddled fine as well. Looking at the volumes if your comfy with your 36.5 in a hypto I would say the 5’9” is probably the one unless you just want to carry more volume for the smaller waves as obviously the lower you go the less well it will handle the really small stuff. It’s definitely a board that’s going to paddle better than you expect in general and also quite wide up front. Hope that helps. I suspect it will still paddle at last as well as the Hypto per volume. Cheers.
@@lawson45uk Thanks a lot. Awesome explanation! Hi5!
If I have a PU retro twin fin fish, would you recommend upgrading to this?
Yeah for sure if your wanting a bit more lively and chuck-able in small to medium waves. Good to see if you like eps epoxy too it's not everyones cup of tea can be a bit more corky / slippery but easier to turn catch waves and a little more lively. Cheers.
Hi, great review! I have a question about duck-diving this board. How do you you find duck-diving the 5'11" ? I'm creeping up in volume as I approach bus pass age, my current shortboard is a 6'1" JS Bullseye ( 38.2l ) which is super easy to duck-dive. Does 41l in this fish design feel a bit corky to get under ? Thanks
Hi Marcus. Thanks for the positive feedback. It is a wide and thick board up front and I like to say they do feel like half to a litre more than the volume says. I personally dont find it difficult to duck dive as it's quite a bit shorter than a lot of my boards but if your used to 38 Litres in a 6'1" You might find the 5'10" enough in this but if your saying your aiming to up the volume a little to increase your wave count that may come with the territory of board that paddle and catch waves better. It's always rally hard to comment on how someone else will find something when your down to a couple of litres of difference so I try to guide on how the board feels to me in general and compared to other boards and the seaside I would say is one of the few boards that tends to feel like more volume that it is so hope that's helpful. If anything it might be the width and how a rail goes in that may take a little adjustment but they are a cracking board and a bit of colume doesn't hurt. I'm personally definitely glad I didn't go up to the 6'0" and could absolutely ride the 5'10".
How do you like your Bullseye? I was really tempted with those but wasn't sure about the more narrow widths combined with the chunky thickness. in the shop a 6'2" looked feasible for me.
GO SURF
Thanks for the update, I’ll go and give the rails of the 5’10” and 5’11” a rub and check the volume up front in my local shop ( Down the Line ). The JS Bullseye is a terrific all round board in slightly better waves for me. The rails are fairly chunky but still easy to engage and the nose thins out quite nicely although you do have to put a bit of pressure on the front foot. It’s surprisingly easy to catch most waves that have at least a little umph. The Hifi has a lovely feel with a tight ‘pop’ and seems well built with very subtle heel dents after 6 months or so. Keep up the quality reviews !
@@marcusway8392 Yeah perfect if you can go check them out your a lucky man :-) We often can't here in NZ on the South Island till they become pretty widely available. There nice and thin in the tail but plenty of meat up front. Cool cheers for the Bullseye feedback :-) Good to know. A friend has one locally and really likes it. I have a Psycho Nitro and really impressed with that and just traded a board for a BB3 that also feels pretty nice. I like HIFI too think Hifi Carbon wrap and Firewire are definitely the best epoxt techs and Thunderbolt in longboards also excellent.. Let me know how you get on with the Seaside. Cheers :-)
Hey mate! Just wondering... I’m 6 ft 6 so wondering if I should get 6’1 it has a solid 46.5 L. Wondering if it’s too much volume?! My short board is a lost mayhem psycho killer 6 ft 6 and 42 litres. 🤔 how tall are you?
CFS Health hey mate. What do you weigh. I would say if your comfortable on a 42 litres shortboard you could go the 5'11" volume wise is paddles easy a litre better than you would expect. I ride my shortboards at 42 litres too and actually have a 6'3" psycho with added thickness and width to make it 41 and a bit litres and my 5'11" paddles better than that and all my shortboards and feels more chunky. I can't say how something that short comparably would be for a 6'6" guy though. Certainly makes sense your on a thinner 6'6" psycho in theory. I'm only 5'7" though lol so hard to comment. I know the guy from big guy boards ks pretty tall too but he still rides pretty similar volume and length to me. if you weigh like 90kg plus you could probably go the 6'0" don't think you need to go to 6'1" though I was gonna a go the 6'0" and super glad I didn't. Personally I would say 5'11" or 6'0" depending on what you weigh but even the 5'11" should paddle somewhere close to your psycho. If you want it for grovrl and your 90kg plus you could get a 6'0" for sure cheers.
CFS Health just looking at a couple of your videos mate. You don't look like a heavy dude so likely 5'11" would be a good pick. If you like a longer board you could look at the post RNF retro if you like lost. That's another one you could always make a longer thinner custom on maybe like my 6'2" I review possibly thinner. Not as high performance but very fast and fun and good in a smaller wave too. Give me a shout with your thoughts 👍
CFS Health very good friend of mine is at least 6'2" and about 90 kg and he rides a 5'10" and had a quiver killer stock at 40 litres hope that all helps
GO SURF hey mate! Thanks heaps for the reply! Love your channel! I’d say I can surf my 43 l lost board very well up to 4 ft waves! Then I’m scrapping in on bigger waves a bit more! Still catching them but not getting in super early. I am 6”6 so I guess the 6.1 is a big drop in length! Just wanna make sure I can turn the thing up to the lip! Don’t want it to be too wide! What ya think?
GO SURF yeah I agree! The 6.0 might be better than the 6.1 only issue is the only one for sale in my area is a 6.1... but still think it could be good for me
Hi again:)
I just got it from my postoffice! It looks awsome and Very light. I have A lost v3 rocket in A 6.2 37.3 liter (Carbon wrap) and A go fish 6.1 with 39.4 liter. Do you think i should have bought the 5.11 seaside with 41.1 liter? Is the 5.10 with 39.4 liter going to be to small and hard to paddle and catch waves?:)
Christophe
Christophe Tellaroli Hay mate no you don't need a 5'11" based on what your used to. I'm on the 5'11" and find it easy paddler and a wave catching machine and I looked at that 6'1" go fish and thought it was too little volume for me and 37.3 litres in a V3 would also be too little volume for me too..The 5'10" Seaside will be plenty. I would almost guarantee it paddles at least as good as the Go Fish. Let me know how you get on 👍
How does the board (Helium construction) hold up compared to previous building methodes of firewire or standard surf boards? Any dings in the meantime? Any delamination or dents from hot conditions? Cheers - Kai
Kai Dame hey mate. Pretty good from what I have seen but my boards don't generally get a Hammering. It's got a tough deck skin and still got the balsa and palonia rails so it's closer to the good old fst than it is the old rapidfire and much better than LFT for durability in my opinion. No delams or yellowing on mine but one guy was saying he had a bad experience with a Indo trip and it delamed and wasn't looking in good shape. It's very light and flex and livelyness is good. Hope that helps. I personally would buy with confidence on this construction. They're is probably only the old fst that's any stronger in FireWire
@@lawson45uk thank's for your insight. Funny you mentioned LFT and rate this under Helium in terms of durability. I was thinking about a GoFish but was worrying about the Firewire construction in general. Found some really intimidating photos of delamed Firewire Board in the web (The Ding King etc.) Thought it's not worth to pull the plug on one of these as they are quite expensive....
My last two boards had been from LibTech and beside some heavy deck dents I had no issues within 4 years with them concerning dings and repairs. But kind of did not get the magic feeling kicking in. Wondering if I got them with the wrong volume or waht so ever. Do you found the volume calculator of Firewire accurate? Cheers - Kai
Kai Dame ohhh did I say LFT is more durable. Definitely not mate. the old FST is probably the most durable. LFT has a nice feel and flex but definitely not that durable and not always that well finished either they had a run with a lot of sand outs etc. Yeah lib tech is probably the most durable tech you can get and yes I would agree not quite as magic a feel though but I believe that has improved too. O get a lot of my boards in poly from Tommy Dalton now. Were lucky enough to have some fantastic shapers and craftsmen here in NZ for a small country. Tommy has the best quality and finish out of anything I have had and he's good to deal with too in my experience. Yeah the go fish was too narrow for my liking so didn't get one. Lots of people love them but I would rather have a seaside myself. Volume calculators are really just s guide line and different models behave differently anyway. Sometimes takes a bit of working out to get it really right. Cheers
@@lawson45uk I pretty sure you mentioned FST as the one from previous day's - no worry's. Well I think try and error is as always the way to go but thanks for your perspective. At my location we lack of both, skilled shaper and waves in the backyard but the last one is supposed to be change in some weeks as they build a city wave next to where I live. Hope they have some demos at this location soon :)
Kai Dame yeah the FST are older tech but kinda the gold standard of durable FireWire tech and they still surf and feel good. Again probably not as close to poly as LFT it as lovely as Helium but they lasted super well and rode well. Helium is very very light but does handle chop ok and feels quite nice. Ah ok thought you might be here in NZ talking about ding king. What sort of boards and volume have you been riding and how have you found them ? I always get slammed for riding high volume but you honesty need it here at our local break especially being a pretty average not super fit surfer.
What's the biggest surf you've ridden it in? Trying to decide between this and the Midas. Summers on Maui suck but my home break in winter is hollow as they come (vids on my channel, Honolua). Saw Machado taking this thing into chopes but he's Rob Machado xD
Kaleo Delatori hi I have ridden it in what we class as overhead waves but our local wave is sloooooow and flat faced. On a slow rolling clean want it would handle a bit or size but they're are also times when it's slippery as too so for the serous stuff you get in Hawaii and for riding it in the volumes us normal humans use it's not a board I would chose for holow surf personally. Midas is quite a different board again. Probably still wouldn't be my choice for big hollow waves though.
Kaleo Delatori What else is on your list ? Maybe something's like a quiver killer could do a bit of both. Looking at those waves 😱 phzel ghost Superbrand Pig Dog lost rock etc would be on my mind. Depends on what you wsnt to achieve I guess. maybe you need a couple of boards both with big ranges?
@@lawson45uk right now I'm riding a 5'6" 2+1 setup and have always ridden fishy type boards(I'm a former stand up booger) so love putting it on rail vs getting crazy vertical etc.. Always felt weird riding the standard shortboard!! Right now I'm deciding between the Seaside, Midas, and MR California twin.
Kaleo Delatori Ok cool so your well used to twins and being shorter sizes etc and riding petty low volume anyways so that's always going to help with hold. Sounds like a your a good surfer and riding waaay lower volume tham me so my advice on the different boards might be a bit out it perspective and not quite as relevant but there both great boards.
Kaleo Delatori If you go on Boardshop UK on RUclips and I think surf and show they both have good Midas breakdowns I think they're said to go in a solid wave too. Realwatersports is also great for reviews if you haven't already checked those out. The MR is a suprisingly good little performer for how retro it looks. Seaside is very wide at my volume but I'm a fan of quads. Midas I haven't ridden but I suspect if your used to and like a twin and trailer the Midas is a bit Mott pointy and bitey. The seaside would do the big nice carves your taking about in smaller waves not sure if it would max out in bigger stuff. It's not uncommon for people to be riding different boards or different builds when you see these glossy marketing videos of rob Machado riding like big Teahupoo ... From what little I know the Midas might possibly have the most recent shape most likely to handle size as well as rip out some nice carves. LFT builds aren't always the best quality of the Firewire builds but it has a good feel and holds well bit more like a pu the helium is super light and really lively but can feel a little slippery. Pu well I like PU myself. Just Pu over epoxy can sometimes make a board feel more connected. Would have to have a look at the reviews on the mk ofsd again but I take Just on shape and rocker they could be a a good one for you but will be less happy at the smaller end. Take it no demos over their ? It's like that here. Local
Place has them racked in stock now but used to have to order blind and take a guess myself
What’s your absolute one board quiver?
Lol good question but dont think there is such a thing. For our locally break it would be for purely practical reasons but I would have to go for a longboard as that's what 50-75% of the waves we get really call for. I think a total grovel board or longboard and something like a quiver or psycho killer in the right size would be the go. Sorry that's a two board quiver really but under 2ft here your not gonna be riding many waves on a shortboard if your not a very good surfer that's light and fit. 2ft to as big as i would dare go out in quiver killer would be good.
@@lawson45uk thanks for the reply!
Cj parallax with a 7’ outlier?
Have you tried either of these boards? From the sound of it they are really fun boards and that’s all that matters to me!
@@morganwalstrom9900 yeah seen reviews on both and seen them in the flesh but not riden either. I really fancies the 8'0" outlier rails are amazing but fairly refined and quite w pulled in tail and the hull factory had me worried about it being a risky expensive experiment. The 7'0" outlier is a completely different board it looks like it would actually be good for a most average waves small to decent. I'd the parallax the one that's based on the outlier ? I think that's right always get that and the neo classic confused. A friend has the neo classic. Another has the classic and I had the Aussie slasher in a 9'4" my mate has the 9'10" I'm really enjoying my Haven. If anything maybe the concaves are a bit much for the local stuff but paddles and catches really well and turns like it's a couple of inches shorter.
@@morganwalstrom9900 This is also why I'm after the ova. Just a nice fun looking board that I'm sure will perform too. That will probably end up being my "shortboard" replacement soon I'm 45 now so starting to need that bit of length and volume.
@@lawson45uk does your friend like the neo?
Cj has me intrigued to feel like “Superman” on one of his boards. Don’t know if that’s a marketing ploy or not. Does seem like it because Cj doesn’t seem like that kind of guy.
So you think the 8’ outlier looks really fun huh?
How’s it with duck diving?
Miguel Diaz yeah easy as mate. Nice and short so not hard to get your weight over the nose 👍
